This is the second announcement of 2019. One more is still to come. It's part of the new way Britt is handling the announcement schedule. Instead of announcing all of the concerts in April, Britt is providing three announcements: one each in February, March and April. This announcement schedule is designed to make it easier for people to plan their summer entertainment.
The final Britt season announcement revealing artists for the 2019 Britt Music & Comedy Season will occur on Thursday, April 11 beginning at 5:45 p.m.
Britt Music & Arts Festival is a member-supported non-profit organization and the Pacific Northwest’s longest running outdoor music and performing arts festival. Set among majestic ponderosa pines and native madrones, the vast hillside estate of gold rush era pioneer Peter Britt forms a natural amphitheater of unparalleled beauty, where internationally renowned artists perform every summer.

Inspired by its intimate and scenic hillside venue, Britt Music & Arts Festival provides diverse live performances, an incomparable classical festival and dynamic education programs that create a sense of discovery and community. Since its grassroots beginnings in 1963, the non-profit organization has grown from a two-week chamber music festival to a summer-long series of concerts in a variety of genres, including a three-week orchestra season, and year-round education and engagement programs.
